HE TELLS ME NOW THAT RHINE'S FAMILY HAS FILED A WRONGFUL DEATH SUIT, HIS FIRM WILL BEGIN AN INVESTIGATION. "when you have this large company with this multi- million dollar project and you have deadlines and you have safety rules and obviously safety rules got cut here." SACH OLIVER IS AN ATTORNEY FOCUSED ON HANDLING WRONGFUL DEATH SUITS. "there are black and white rules that have to be followed, that were not followed and what happens when you don't follow those safety rules, you're pushing those profits and those deadlines, people get hurt. In this case a 20 year old man with a baby got killed." HE SAYS THE FIRST STEP IS DETERMINING WHO RHINE WORKED FOR WHEN HE DIED - THE GENERAL CONTRACTOR: PARKCREST BUILDERS OR THE SUBCONTRACTOR: BUSINESS CONSTRUCTION SERVICES, LLC. "we have reached out before even filing suit, written letters, we've placed several phone calls and nobody's even returned our queries, so I'm a little concerned about how difficult it'll be." THE ATTORNEY I SPOKE WITH TELLS ME IF THIS CASE GOES TO TRIAL, IT WOULD BE UP TO A JURY TO DECIDE HOW MUCH MONEY THE FAMILY COULD BE AWARDED. REPORTING LIVE IN FAYETTEVILLE, EMILY MAHER, 40/29 NEWS.
